The funeral of a Hamas member assassinated in Syria will be held in Jordan, Hamas officials said Thursday (June 28). Kamal Ghanaja, photo above, known as Nizar Abu Mujahed, was killed in his Damascus home on Wednesday. Ghanaja's family are heading to Jordan to attend his funeral, which will not be held in Syria because of the unrest, Hamas sources said. The Supreme Council of the Syrian Revolution said in a statement that Ghanaja's body was found in his home in Damascus' Al-Yarmouk refugee camp with clear signs of torture, including cigarette burns. Ghanaja's belongings -- including his laptop, weapons and money -- were not stolen, the council said. The Beirut-based satellite channel Al-Mayadeen reported that Hamas was waiting for a forensic report before responding to the assassination. In a statement in Gaza, Hamas did not immediately accuse Israel of involvement in Ghanaja's death, saying only that it had launched an investigation "to identify the party behind the deplorable crime".
